After this review the court says that IL
Is apparent that just such an attack was
made on the police in the Haymarket rs
was contemplated and arranged for be-
forehand at the meetings OF the interna-
tionals and kindred associations, in which
the defendants took part; and that the
bomb was thrown as had been arranged.
IL holds tn at the jury were warranted In
believing from this evidence that Louis
Lining was q party 70 the Haymnrket
conspra cy. and also that the jury were
justified in believing from the evidence
that the man who threw the bomb was
either member Of the conspiracy, or an
agent employed BY IL.
As TO Engle and Fischer. the court held
that they were chargcabIe with the crime
Of murder, as they had advised and in
duccd men 70 enter into plot to murder
the police with bombs and pistols in a
certain contingency. and although they
were not actually among those who were
present when the bomb was thrown.
they aided, abetted, advised and en-
couragcd that murder.
The relations OF the other defendants
were then considered. The opinion pro-
ceeded to lay stress upon the fact that the
call for the Hnymarket meeting, which
eliminated in the massacre, was printed
In the English and German languages,
both upon the same sheet Of paper. and
that the printers employed on the Arbeifer
Zcffung, who usually quit work nc five
O'Clock. were kept busily II work on this
particular Monday night, while i've OF six
Of the employees Of the Arbeifer Zeifung
were kept at work : long time after the
hour for closing.

Incendiary utteranccs in the two
Anarchist papers were quoted at length
and the fact commented upon that these
were the organs Of the Intsrnationals, and
that the members looked 70 these papers
for orders and directions. II Is held that
the jury were at liberty to use these pub.
locations, In connection with other facts,
with the view OF determining whether
they did or not belong to the conspiracy.
The conclusion OF the court IL that they
did.
The court holds that the evidence .Asx.
ing that Spies and SchWab, either oner
both OF them, gave the bomb Tat killed

while the evidence Of the defense upon
the point Is Of negative character.
The testimony relating to FieIdcn. SPIES,

the question Of Ficlden's participation in

~MIscHIEvous BIRDS.
The Magpies in q Chicago Park Prom
q Miner to Talk OF Western Friends.

The Magpies in q Chicago Park Prompt
q Miner to Talk of Western Friends.
Enthusiastically a bird in Lincoln
Park seemed to say, in a low, peculiar
voice. The bird was larger than a
bluejay, active, and handsome in plu-
mage, of glossy black, with blue wing
covers, and a breast of snowy white.
The tail feathers were long greenish
plumes like those of the cockerel, and
the black head and the beak indicated
that the bird was allied to the crows.
The little fellow was very tame. While
it was calling and chattering it pecked
vigorously the hand placed against the
wire of the cage.
THAT is a magpie," said a stranger.
"We have hundreds of them in New
Mexico. They are on very excellent
terms with the cattle. A flock is al
most always to be seen in company
with a herd. The magpies will alight
on a steers back and go all over him
picking off insects. He never molests
the birds except when they poke their
bills too close to his eyeballs. The
birds are very familiar and easily
caught. In our country the magpie is
a great pet. He learns to talk, and
a speak in English as plainly as any
body. He is far superior to the parrot
as an imitator, and can easily be taught
to say almost any thing. He will sus-
tain his part of a conversation with
/ vigor. While hopping around SEEM
ingly too busy to notice what is going
ON he will often astonish a whole
crowd by breaking out with some sage
and fitting remark, and when he is at a
loss for words he will hold the atten.
| ton of his auditors by his glib chatter
and saucy mimicry of every noise he
hears. We don't think he's worth
keeping unless he can talk, and it is
rare to find a magpie that can't learn
how. These birds are great company
in the mountains, miles and miles
away from the busy world.
1.-The American magpies are very
much like their European cousins.
There is a tradition in the far west that
years ago a foreign ship arrived at San
Francisco with a few magpies aboard,
- 10 Sdiu CuCy WcIc ocGlIcc Ol ItdCHliS
shore and made their way to the inte'
rior. Reaching the Mexican ranges,
they located there and multiplied till
they have become very numerous, and
are now found all along the Rocky
Mountain chain, even far to the north.
"We have another curious bird out
in the mining and grazing country
small, grayish chap, as sly as a fox. He
is called the 'robber.' Leave a piece
of meat or a biscuit on the cabin
table and he is sure to steal it. 1 have
seen these birds sit on the window sill
while we were eating dinner, pluming
themselves as if no one we're near. Blu,
as soon as we turned our backs on
piece of meat it was taken, and the
'robber' was out of sight. This Gun.
ming bird will actually pick the food of
ones plate, and in such mysterious
way that one is puzzled to know wha,
has become of it. We never kill the
'robber' birds. They are infinitely
amusing and harmless, but they are the
most audacious thieves on earth" CNs

{ GOLD L

Discovery of Rich Mineral Deposits In
Southern India and-British Guinea.
New and apparently rich and extern
sive gold fields have been discovered in
Mysore, a native state of Southern In
dia. The country is an elevated table
land of largely granite formation. The
Dewan of Mysore, in his recent budget
speech before the Representative As
sembly of the State, announced that
although only a beginning had been
made of opening the mines, already
So, 1858 rupees had been paid into the
Government Treasury as royalty on
the gold extracted. History and tradi-
ton point to Mysore as a country which
in a remote past produced great guam
titles of gold, and the remains of ex-
tensive ancient workings are found
scattered throughout the country.
East Indian authorities affirm that
the Ophir of King Solomon is now
identified rs a part of Mysore. It
might be easier to take that asser-
ton for granted than to find the
proof, but if rich and extensive
gold fields can be developed in a
country having a healthful climate and
communication by rail with British In
dia, the miners can afford to leave the
question of Identification to the anti
quarians, while working this welcome
addition to the specie u of the
world for all it is worth. Still later
come advices through Consular chan
nels of gold discoveries in British Gui-
ana. No lodges have been discovered,
but about 5000 persons, mostly colored
and inexperienced in gold mining, took
out about $3.50, 900 last year by washing
in the water-courses, and this year the
output is expected to reach 81, 1000, 900.
The climate is very insalubrious, espe-
cially to whites; but the thirst for gold
will lead thousands to dare the most
p~estilential cline if it promise fortune.
1t is opportune that when the decrease
of the product of California and Aus
tralia creates a fear of scarcity of gold
for the wants of business, that these
discoveries, in connection with others
in Columbus, Bolivia, Patagonia, South
Africa, China, Alaska and elsewhere,
seem likely to maintain the needed sup
ply.-Ghtcago Journal.

come to his rescue, and yet it can be Of
NO avail. +;
If he releases one hand to seize the
rope, that instant he will go over into
space. He is barely able with both
hands to cling to his perch, and oh,
how weak and faint he feels in that ter
rible moment of bitter suspense.
1.-THE rope-can you lot grasp it?
Mop Well, raise your head, and l will
drop it over"
Dan Hurlock hears the words, but he
can not obey. He dare not utter a word,
sven to attempt it would hurl him to
eternity he believes. The rope slides
against the youths head as the man
above urges action. All! to lift his face
an inch would seal Dan Hurlock' fate.
How tired his arms, his limbs. His
hands are blistered; they are becoming
moist, and begin to lose their tenacious
grip-they are slipping! He moves!
he is going over; he is lost! A touch
against his cheek. He opens his lips
to utter q gasping cry; something fills
them-the rope! His teeth close about
the hempen cord; his jaws have not
been weakened. AS the weak, moist
hand slip away, Dan Hurlock hangs
swaying, with a firm clasp of the teeth
in the rope, and this alone v him.
Notlong thus, then he thrusts an arm
through the moose that quickly closes
about it al the shoulder, tightening
with a biting grip; then all strength
forsakes the young climber; the world
is swept away in black unconscious
ness. A long quivering cry from
across the court.
Susie Slayne has witnessed all, and
when she realizes that Dan Hurlock is
safe, she sinks speechless to low
chair. The touch of tiny point against
her cheek rouses her. Susie turns her
face, and there, on the back of her
chair, sits Red Dan, his head bent
aside, one eye half closed, looking as
wise and solemn as an owl.
.Oh, you wicked birdr'
Up springs Susie, abustle with new
life and activity, although it will be
many days before she from
the shock of that ten minutes awful ex-
perience. Red Dan goes back into
his cage, and an hour later, when
the teacher from the opposite win
dow assures her that Dan is
alive and doing well, though yet
very weak, Susie smiles and assures
herself that she is happy. 1t was an
awful experience, however, one that
will always ;be remembered with a
shudder. The lovers quarrel that had
separated Dan Hurlock and Susie weeks
before, happily terminated with Red
Dams escapade, and the reader may be
sure the quarrel was never renewed

A Story OF q Young Mother.
rChicaro Herald-I

A pretty little story is told Of one Of the
prettiest and sweetest little women in En-
glewood- She has been a wife seven years,
and three times a mother. Not long ago
n of her babes-her youngest-died, and
was taken On a cold day to lakewood for
burial. The young mother was half dazed
with grief, but proved sufficiently strong
on the day Of the funeral to ride to the
cemetery. After the services were over at
the vault she requested that the coffin be
once more opened, and the undertaken
gratitied her wish. Being left almost alone
with her dead for a. moment the poor
mother suddenly took the lifeless little
body in her arms, pulled from beneath her
cloak warm and fleecy cheese-cloth child's
quilt, and carefully wrapped it about the
form of the infant, murmuring: There
there-my little darling shall not be cold.
This will keep her warm"
